I'm a former West Coast freight dog who left flying 15 years ago and pursued a different career. While I miss the flying, I don't miss the long hours or the meager pay. Often I wonder if it is worth returning to flying. But the grass always seems greener from the other side of the fence.

I scratch the flying itch at home on X-plane. Lately I've been bombing around Western Canada in a pretty convincing rendition of the 737-200 in Pacific Western Airlines livery.

I found some old PWA route maps on the ol' interweb, which makes picking historically accurate routes a cinch. But I was wondering if anyone knows (or knows someone who knows) where to find PWA's old route numbers for the late 70s or early 80s?

I know this is probably a shot in the dark --- time does funny things to old obscure info like this. But hey, worth a shot.

Thanks.

Here are some from some trips I did in May 1986:

PW655 YYZ-YWG-YQR-YYC (may have continued west)
PW118 YYC-YXD
PW571 YEG-YZF
PW560 YZF-YEG
PW591 YEG-YVR
PW681 YVR-YYJ
PW341 YYJ-YVR

Hey everyone. I kind of answered my own question, but I found this (http://www.departedflights.com/PW042885intro.html) site, which has detailed PW route info.
